as. You said....."Worldnetdaily? That's not news, just rightwing opinion."..... Message 21274062 I know it is hardly worth the effort to again prove you are wrong or lying but here you go. Here are some articles from Worldnetdaily.... ......"The Bush Doctrine April 28, 2005 worldnetdaily.com In proclaiming it America's mission to spread democracy all over the world, President Bush has gone far beyond the traditional policy of the Republican Party, and even beyond the ambitious goal of Woodrow Wilson, which was (you will recall) to "make the world safe for democracy." Since Bush has already demonstrated, in Iraq, his willingness to commit American troops to support our mission in appropriate cases, it is relevant to recall that the traditional test of when American forces' lives may be risked abroad is "when a vital American interest is at stake." What Bush has done, and frankly said he has done, is define the worldwide furtherance of democracy as a "vital interest" of the United States. Full Article.... worldnetdaily.com _____________________________________ Today, the United States faces an unprecedented Bush administration effort to use religion to bring about one-party rule in the United States, and once again U.S. Catholics may provide the margin of victory. The Republicans seek to eliminate effective Democratic opposition, beginning with what they call — all too unmistakably — the "nuclear option," a move to prevent Senate filibusters against judicial nominations. Once filibusters against judicial nominees can be eliminated, they can be easily eliminated for any other matter before the Senate. A key part of the Republican strategy is to claim that it is hatred of religion that has moved the Democrats to oppose these judicial nominees. "Justice Sunday: Stop the Filibuster Against People of Faith," a TV program produced by evangelical leaders, was simulcast Sunday via the Internet, just as Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist was preparing to call for a vote on the anti-filibuster measure. Evangelical Protestants have led the way in portraying Democrats as enemies of God, but the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has chimed in on the issue of judicial nominees in a mass mailing to parishioners timed to yield constituent letters just as the matter comes to a vote. ______________________________________________ Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has pledged to vote against any effort on the part of Senate Republicans to end Democratic filibusters of President Bush's judicial nominees. Chafee and Snowe will likely join McCain in his ploy for publicity, which leaves Republicans with the requisite bare majority, 52-48, as long as no other Republicans defect. But if the current Republican trend of bucking the White House continues, even this measure – perhaps the measure most important for Republicans in maintaining the support of their base – could go down to a humiliating defeat. _____________________________________

as. And here's one that could even what be called balanced. Please take note of the web site.... :-) ......"Imposing this security measure on short-term visitors would put needed pressure on both of our neighbors to shore up their ID validation systems. Entry into this country is a privilege, not a right. Yet, border dominatrix Hillary opposes the rule. Now, before my fellow conservatives get all outraged about Hillary's politically calculated doublespeak on border security, here's another catch: President Bush has the exact same position as Hillary. When he learned about the passport requirement plan earlier this month – a plan he signed into law last December as part of the so-called intelligence reform bill – he worried that it could "disrupt the honest flow of traffic." After expressing ignorance about his own policies, Bush ordered State and Homeland Security to reconsider the passport rules. What a pair: Sen. Conniver and President Clueless. Pick your poison. Either way, we're committing national suicide.".... Full article >>>> worldnetdaily.com
